Seems that parted can be used for this after all (according to the post in
the gparted forum):


Lets say the partition you want to check is a fat32 partition on /dev/hda1.

Problem is, this only works for me on non ext*  filesystems.
Running parted against one of my ext3 backup partitions gives this error:


root:# parted /dev/hda print 5
> Error: File system has an incompatible feature enabled.


Anyone else get this problem on ext3 partitions as well?
